Just to clarify - I'm using aptitude's own cron job, and I've now
uninstalled the cron-apt package.  I've nothing against going back to
the cron-apt method personally, but if Apt::Periodic can be made to work
as well, then even better.

I wonder if the correct long-term approach is for apt-get and aptitude to
be multi-arch aware, so that they accept extensions for the particular
architectures that are supported?  But I don't know where such discussions
are taking place.
